NOTE Conventionally in International Standards, long numbers are separated by a space character as a “thousands separator”. This convention has not been followed in this document because the arcs of an Object Identifier are defined by a space separator (according to ISO/IEC 8824 and ISO/IEC 8825). As the correct representation of these arcs is vital to this document, all numeric values have no space separators except to denote a node between two arcs of an Object Identifier. For additional clarity, Object Identifiers are presented in bold text.
BSI recommends this version of standard for organisations operating in or with the UK. The ISO edition is available here if required.
